I've also found this to be a pain when working on glibc, where compilation commands are run from subdirectories of the source directory so using -save-temps causes the temporary files to be put in the source directory, after which the glibc build system can end up using them for future builds in preference to the actual source files. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39293
